Quote In 1993, the offseason acquisitions of Montana along with Hall of Fame running back Marcus Allen helped the Chiefs win their first playoff game since defeating the Vikings 24 years earlier in Super Bowl IV. After defeating the visiting Steelers in overtime in the wild card round, Montana and Allen led Kansas City to a come-from-behind victory over the favored Oilers to earn a trip to the AFC Championship Game.

White Linen Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 One of the biggest trades in NFL history in terms of an iconic seemingly un-tradeable player. 2
Ray Stonada Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I was at that AFC championship at Rich. Watched Bruce Smith knock Montana out of his last NFL game. Thurman's 186 or so yards... we chanted Thurman, Thurman, Thurman when he scored his 3rd touchdown. Ah, memories that don't fade for life! 5

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Joe had a pretty good curtain call season that year IIRC, but the Bills would not be denied in the AFC playoffs...perhaps we could similarly end Brady this coming season wherever he ends up!

machine gun kelly Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I’m sure he’ll root for the 49ers as that was really his team. 1

I was there too - fantastic game and the last game that my dad and I went to see together....I remember sitting in the airport seeing some pretty glum looking KC fans walk by...and felt bad for them for some reason.
Sundancer Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 This is like asking if Thurman roots for the Dolphins when they play the Bills. 2

It is silly that as far as anecdotal bits of NFL history the fact that Jim Kelly beat John Elway, Dan Marino and Joe Montana in three straight AFC Championship games is rarely (if ever besides me) brought up. ...please don't go into the QBs not going against each other, but rather going against the defenses...I know, we get it. However, as QB starts go it is Kelly with the "W" and the other three with the "L". Edited January 21, 2020 by dollars 2 donuts 1

I was at the game and the Bills crushed them...and knocked Montana out of the game. Montana was so bad up to that point people were wishing he stayed in...he was 9 of 23 for 125 yards and an INT before he got knocked out for a passer rating of 39.2 ...Dave Krieg came in and actually played relatively better but still ended up with a rating of 62.1 In fact the game was so in hand that all I could think about at the time was getting the game over with so I could get back in the car and get warm because we were sitting in the upper deck, it was freezing out and I forgot to bring hand/foot warmers. I remember my feet being so cold they were almost numb most of the game. The game "seemed" close when the Chiefs scored a TD to make it 20-13 in the 3rd quarter but anyone watching knew they had almost no chance of actually winning the game, it was pretty much all Bills and they just used the ground game to steamroll them. Thomas had almost 190 yards rushing that game and the Bills rolled up almost 230 yards in total on the ground. Edited January 21, 2020 by matter2003 1
nkreed Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 This is to the topic at hand, but Buffalo is unbeatable at home in the playoffs? I know the timelines are different, but if the Bills had a home game this year, there's no doubt the crowd would have deafened the opposing team. There's just nothing like Buffalo fan craziness. It's like Seattle, but significantly better! 1

It's like Seattle, but significantly better! It used to be real crazy when the stadium held 80,020. Back then Buffalo was the loudest stadium but since seating capacity was reduced to around 73,000 it's not on the same level as Seattle or KC anymore but its still pretty loud.
